Josh Fairey - Achieving his Goals




Josh Fairey is a simple guy. You ask him why he plays lacrosse, “it’s a lot of fun,” and if there’s one thing you should know about him it’s that he’s “easy-going and likes to have a good time.”

 

            You’d never know it on the field, though. Fairey, the LSM, is dialed in all-game, every game. Born in Sudbury, he grew up in Guelph, Ont. and started playing lacrosse at eight. After attending the Hill Academy, he was recruited to Loyola University Maryland, and plays Junior A for the Toronto Beaches.

 

            “It’s a dream come true to have the honour of representing my country at a World championship,” Fairey said. “I’ll bring a lot of energy to this team, do anything and play any role needed to help us win.”

 

            He’s looking forward to playing with old teammates, and connecting with new ones, and playing against some of the best in the world in the pursuit of gold.

 

            “I’ve looked up to a lot of my teammates throughout my lacrosse career, and it’s exciting to play on the same team with them.”

 

            After years of practicing and fine tuning his skills, Fairey is excited to get going and play lacrosse at the highest level he’s ever participated in.

           

            For now, he’s taking in every experience, and not wishing for it to go by quickly but also excited for his return to Canada. His Jr. A team will compete for the Minto Cup, against his Canadian and Loyola teammate Adam Poitras, who will be competing with the Whitby Warriors.

 

            Josh Fairey will make his dreams a reality, as he competes with Canada in the 2022 World Lacrosse Men’s U21 World Championship from August 10 - 20, 2022 at the University of Limerick in Limerick, Ireland.
